asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the wide spread dissatisfaction and sense of grievance which prevails amongst officers recently appointed to all branches of the National Agricultural Advisory Service, and the importance of starting the new service with a contente4 staff, he will hold an inquiry with a view to the removal of genuine grievances and adjustment of the conditions which have led to the dissatisfaction.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
